The Missing Link (French: Le Chaînon manquant), known in America as B.C. Rock, is a 1980 French–Belgian animated film written and directed by Picha.

Set in the year 196,303 BC, it follows the life and escapades of the caveman Oh. Rejected by his own kind, he travels the world meeting strange new friends and enemies, and learning and developing the skills needed to survive this harsh world. The film is set to a rock soundtrack.

Artistic License – Paleontology: Not only are there dinosaurs and humans in the same time period, but they don't even look like real dinosaurs. Hell, some of them don't even look like they are from Earth.

Bittersweet Ending: Man develops into a more civilized society, at the cost of wiping out various other species in the process.

Also, Oh spends the remainder of his days on Easter Island with Igua and Croak.

Pun-Based Title: The German title "Das fehlende Glied" is a perfectly literal translation...but with the bonus (if one can term it bonus, but after all, Picha is reknowned for his adult animations) that "Glied" also means "penis".
